I'm working with a bizarre setup where multiple computers need to keep
a repository synchronized despite routing not being configured such
that the computers can all talk to each other without intermediates.

For the links that can go through TCP/IP, I just do manual pushes and
pulls to keep it up to date.  Autosync is nice, but it doesn't get me
the whole way there.  If I could configure a repository to
automatically push to other computers whenever something is pushed to
it, that would help.

Not everything is as nice as TCP/IP though.  I have one link that
requires synchronization via Windows SMB/CIFS implemented over Citrix
remote file access.  The remote URL is
file:////client/c$/users/andy/desktop/work/fossil/whatever.fossil
haha!  It's monstrously slow, but it works.  Then I have to further
synchronize that file with a repository in a Slackware virtual machine
on my computer, but at least that's TCP/IP again, albeit through
VirtualBox rather than a NIC.

The only thing that makes this not be a forking nightmare is the fact
that I'm the only one who ever commits.

As complicated as this sounds, it's vastly superior to the alternative
of pushing individual files around, forgetting to keep stuff in sync,
having mismatched versions everywhere, and not being able to track the
status of everything.
